PGA Tour Champions win number three for Stephen Allan
Stephen Allan – made it three wins for the season in Snoqualmie Ridge
US-based Victorian, Stephen Allan, had not won an event anywhere in twenty-two years when he started his second season on the PGA Tour Champions in February, but, in the six months since, he has won three more titles and advanced to 7th place in the PGA Tour Champions Schwab Cup standings.
Today. Allan held off Stewart Cink, Ernie Els and Darren Clarke to win the Boeing Classic in Snoqualmie Ridge in Washington State to earn another US$345,000 and take his 2025 season earnings to US$1,412,000.
Allan gained access to the PGA Tour Champions in late 2023 and is now in his second season after only just retaining his playing privileges in late 2024.
The now 51-year-old battled throughout much of his career after reaching the PGA Tour for several seasons in the early 2000’s, finishing runner-up on two occasions but eventually losing status in 2009.
“I think I know myself a little bit better when it comes to my swing and my game,” said Allan.
“I think, I don’t know, it means a lot to me, too. Financially, it’s good to make some money. I’ve been off the main Tour since 2009, so things get a little bit tight there when you’re not making any money. I think with that, I think, yeah, matured a bit, not getting ahead of myself, not stressing about things, and just playing and seeing what happens.
When asked if he is surprised at his success this year, Allan responded, “I think I would have probably laughed if you told me I would have won three times. I definitely thought that I had a win in me, but I wouldn’t have said three.”
